Ok , I found the two clips that are closest to the engine and unlocked them, I can't figure out how to release the two under the circular spots just before the air intakes. Where are the releases... are they pointing forward, to the rear , right or left ? What is the best way to unlock them .

Thanks in advance

Once you have the tabs closest to the engine free just pull the cover up and toward you but take as not to break the tabs . You actually do not need to pull the cover off . You can push the grill inward from the bottom to release the tabs and than just wiggle it out .

+1 on what hitokiri said. But I just want to stress that after the two middle tabs are removed, you have to push the bottom of the grille inward (towards the engine bay) to remove the tabs, otherwise you will break them off. Then you just pull upwards on the grille and those two knobs on each side will come out of the hole. I can't remember but I think it is easier to pull the grille out on an angle so that the two knobs come out of their grooves easier.

Off topic: You say in your side pane that you drive a 2009 c300... But why isn't there a dual intake?!?!

Thanks for the tips, I stole the photo from the DYI thread, I do have dual intakes , they were the easiest to remove

Glad to be of help , I was in the dark with removing the grill for a while .

Where are the two clips closest to the engine that need to be unlocked? I am having trouble finding them.
